Chicken Caesar Salad Recipe, with Tomberries

Caesar salad is a popular dish in my house.  The lovely chicken with different dressings and vegetables give it different ways to eat.  Anchovies are not popular in this house, so I never use them, and I tend to use the same sort of things to make it.  I think there are dozens of caesar salad recipes, and I am convinced they all depend on the type of caesar salad dressing recipe.

Ingredients
  

Salad
  • 1 Medium Lettuce Washed.
  • 500 g Tomberries or Cherry Tomatoes Washed
  • 200 g Croutons Home Made, or Bought
  • 20 g Parmesan For shavings, or you can buy them ready to use.
  • 1 Medium Chicken. Pre- Cooked, with chicken diced.
Caesar Salad Dressing
  • 1 clove Garlic Crushed
  • 2 teaspoons Parmesan Ground or grated.
  • 4 - 5 tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 1-2 tablespoon White wine vinegar Use if the dressing is too thick to pour.
  • 1 Medium Chive Finely chopped.
  • 1 teaspoon Peppercorn Ground, to taste.

Method
 

Salad
  1. Wash and make a bed with the lettuce.

  2. Simply sprinkle on the chicken, croutons and parmesan shavings.

Caesar Salad Dressing
  1. I was lazy and used a pre-bought, but if you don’t have a dressing to hand, make one. I wish I had made mine as the bought one was too vinegary for my taste.

  2. Crush a garlic clove (or use ground garlic if you don’t have any).

  3. Add two teaspoons of ground parmesan or 10g grated parmesan. If you like strong cheese, you can up this to double.

  4. Mix it into 4 – 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise.

  5. Add the finely chopped chives.

  6. Grind a teaspoon of peppercorns into the dressing.

  7. Add 1 – 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar until the dressing is pourable.

  8. Pour dressing over salad.

Salad
  1. Add tomatoes or tomberries to the top of the salad.

Notes

Home made or bought dressing is fine.
It’s also nice with a few bits of cooked bacon added.
Tesco sell parmesan shavings in small pots which are perfect, but they do work out expensive that way I think
